Roasted garlic is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can add depth and flavor to a wide variety of dishes. Whether you’re using it in pasta sauces, marinades, or simply spreading it on bread, it’s a simple and easy way to truly take your cooking to the next level. However, there is nothing worse than wanting to make roasted garlic, only to find out that you’ve run out foil. But fear not, because in this post, I’ll be teaching you How to Make Perfect Roasted Garlic – No Foil Needed!
Ingredients
- 3 Bulbs Garlic
- 1-2 Teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Flaky Sea Salt optional
Instructions
- The first (and arguably, most important) step is to slice the top off of your garlic, so that the bulbs are exposed. This is important, otherwise the hot garlic can burst out of the bulbs and burn, which is not what we want.
- Next, since we aren’t using foil, add your sliced garlic bulbs to an oven-safe pot, exposed-side up.
- Then, drizzle your garlic bulbs with a little bit of olive oil. This helps the garlic get nice and soft and spreadable, which is exactly what we want! If you want to sprinkle some flaky salt over your garlic bulbs for extra flavor, then add it at this step.
- Next, cover your pot with the lid. The garlic must be enclosed for this method to work. Instead of using foil, we’ll be using the lid of the pot to enclose the garlic.
- Place the covered pot into the oven at 400F, keeping it in there until the garlic bulbs become soft, buttery, and spreadable. I find this take about 40-50 minutes, but this may differ depending on your make and model of oven. CAREFULLY remove the cover once it’s done, and if you’d like a little more golden color to your garlic, broil for one minute.
- Finally, once your garlic is done, remove it from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then use and enjoy!
